  1. Found it here, the only problem is that you have to go through RealXtreme to view, Ugh!! http://www.realxstream.com/launcher.aspx?XStreamid=49909&Vid=8
  2. Does anyone know where you can download footage of the recent 44 point dives by the Russian Team Extreme or the Russian Team Black Cat? http://records.fai.org/parachuting/current.asp?id1=202&id2=1&id3=8 Thanks Fen
  3. I'd be interested to hear any worthwhile observations on the following: I was wondering if it is possible to deploy a high performance canopy slider down on a hop n pop (possibly using a BASE style "tail gate") so a bullet cam could be attached high up the lines? I have no interest in becoming a test pilot so has anybody tried it or seen it done? If so what were the results and what were stresses like on canopy and pilot? -Fen-
  4. Hey guys!!!!!!!!!! (and gals!!!) I've been jumping a Springo 160 for years now, and have done loads of jumps on it. It's a great canopy but I've recently decided to change to a Velocity - I'll probably go for either an 120 or 111sqft. All the swoopers on my DZ have them and they just swoop so much further than my Springo, man! Which size would suit me best? BLUE SKIES!!!!!!!!!! Fenton Murphy MIAVI BSc. Hons
  5. I have a Javelin Odyssey TJN 0.5 manufactured in September of last year and it's got a pull-out deployment system. I'm based in Ireland and there's only 2 of us with this type of deployment here. So far I love the system completely but with one exception. In the beginning I found that the PC would pull the handle ou tof my grip but not since about my 5th jump on the gear, I would always have to just drop the handle. About a fortnight ago though over the space of about 3 jumps the handle was whipped from my grip like in the beginning, and now things have gone back to me dropping it after I fully outstretch my arm. Any Suggestions????
